To bring matters up when it's calmer or not to? With raising your children to be a certain way?

I was always grateful my father took time out before dealing with me or scolding me so emotions were not so high. Either by sending me to my room or the corner.

Deal with things as they come up.
If you wait you punish your child twice !
First by displaying anger at point of problem and then bringing the subject up again when your child has gotten over it.

You are the adult and supposed to know better.
You know that children will make errors in choice and judgement.
You know that children will act without thought for consequence of their choices.
So illustrate point at the time

I have always used the mantra Criticize in private and Praise in Public. Normally I try to say something asap unless the child feels humiliated.

i was always talked to and showed what i did wrong,theres really no time but the present
